Why Green Is the New Neutral
Green might not be the first colour people reach for at the nail salon, but it’s one of the most versatile and underrated shades around. From sage and olive to emerald and forest tones, green adds an earthy calm that feels both modern and timeless.
Green shades go surprisingly well with most skin tones and are perfect for clients looking for something a little different without going too bold. They’re chic enough for everyday wear, yet unique enough to get compliments.
Leafy Details: The Rise of Botanical Nail Art
Minimalist leaf patterns are trending — and for good reason. They add a soft, organic touch to any nail set. A simple fern line or palm outline on a nude base can instantly give your nails a calm, natural vibe.
Designs like this are ideal for those who love subtle art but don’t want full-on graphics. You can keep it monochrome with deep green tones or add shimmer, foil, or gold accents for a touch of luxury.
Best Colour Pairings with Green
Want to spice things up but keep it cohesive? Here are some stunning colour combinations that pair beautifully with green:
Green + Nude – Clean and modern
Green + Gold – Luxurious, great for formal events
Green + White – Fresh and crisp
Green + Terracotta – Warm and earthy
These combos work well for both hand-painted nail art and colour-blocked styles. Ask your nail artist to try a few swatches during your session!
